WordPress making blogging very easy — and free! A lot happens behind the scenes to make your WordPress blog or Web site function. The beauty of WordPress platform is this: You don’t have to worry about what’s happening on the back end in order to manage and maintain a Website — unless you really want to.
That is why using a WordPress as a blogging platform has a couple of drawbacks.

1. Attraction for bad guys:

The most popular and open source code are generally a good combination, but ba guys are always looking to ruin everyone’s fun. WordPress runs so many high-profile sites, some crackers (A cracker is a person who attempts to maliciously hack computers or computer networks.) types are on the lookout for flaws that can be exploited. But, the WordPress developers are very quick to patch vulnerabilities, So all you have to stay on top of the releases and make your WordPress installation up to date.

2. Dynamically page generation:

WordPress display post and page content dynamically that you see. Whenever visitor visit any blog post or page, a few things are happening in the background. For example: Database queries are fired off, PHP code is executed, and then the page is displayed. Usually, this system isn’t a problem; But it cost to utilize different resource on the server which create load on server and slow down the blog or site because of heavy load on server. This thing is not happened with static pages.

1. Creating Content

Quality content are the key to any website success, so content are the king of blogging. It is something that your visitors will enjoy reading, watching or listening to and will refer their friends, colleagues, family members and others to it. By building quality content on your site, you get not only search engine traffic, but trust, reputation, greater conversions and incoming natural links. If you create poor content the parts will not matter. So how do you create good content? I have compiled a list of articles, which help you a lot for brainstorming, because reading blogs inside and outside you nice defiantly help you.

2. Promoting Blog

This is very important area after writing a quality content. There were easy ways to promote blog lige submitting post on Digg, Reddit and StumbleUpon etc but not any more because it is very difficult to get your post on front page. Because, need lots of friends circle how thumb up and can vote for your post. But some other way might be worth considering as well.

First of all make search engine friendly post by giving good title to your post, related description and keywords.

Secondly, When you give reference in your post for a person or company, let them know by writing an email, which may help your post to get link back from their site.

There are lots of others ways which help to promote your blog as follows:

3. Tracking Blog

The is the most important part to get success in blogging but most bloggers ignore this area. Creating a quality contents and promoting them is very important but what is working and getting traffic to your blog is priceless.

There are lots of tracking tools out there, here are list of articles about all these tools, also you can Google about Blog tracking tools.

4. Optimizing Blog

People learn from their mistakes, so learn from your previous post and make next post better. The Design of your blog, content, layout, and coding all should be optimized. As you continue to optimize your blog you will see your traffic and user loyalty will grow.

WordPress allows you to generate permalinks (permanent URIs) on your blog, which appear as though each of your posts is an individual static page on your site, rather than the dynamic output
of a database-driven web site. Instead of a URI to one of your stories looking like

http://example.com/?p=29,

p= you post id

WordPress can use something like this link: http://example.com/category-name/your-Posttittle/

Because this type of URI is already loaded with your keywords, it has an immediate advantage over the ?p=29 version. It also is more readable to your human visitors. It’s easier for them to remember the link or to read it out over the phone.
To configure the structure of your permalink, from the administration pages, click Options, then Permalinks. The Edit Permalink Structure page allows you to configure the structure of your permalink URIs, as shown bellow.

Choose a permalink structure that you feel comfortable with and that fits your blog. The suggestions made by WordPress work well, especially the following structure: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

and %category%/%postname%/ If your site has mostly chronological entries, this format makes lots of sense. As a bonus, these URLs truncate, too, which means that someone visiting a URL containing just the year
and month will receive all posts for that month.

When designing a website, designer require lots of material for website decoration. It encompasses colors, buttons, backgrounds, textures, rules, fonts, graphics, illustrations, photos, sounds, and any other
elements that support the overall concept.
Designer should establish a stylebook specifying colors, fonts, and other elements that should be followed as the site expands and it might specify:

Icons

Typography

Photography

Windows

Sounds

File formats

Here I am compiling an excellent example of using decoration to support a concept and they are online resources providing decorative elements to use on your site.

Your Gravatar is an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things like comment or post on a blog. Avatars help identify your posts on blogs and web forums. It is a service by Automattic, and stores “avatar” or profile, images link to an email address on its servers. Once you upload an image on Gravatar server, it will display on any site that supports Gravatar across the Internet. Gravatar is a widely supported service used by many social media sites.
